Sunday with more spells of sun and a rising mercury

BarcelonaThe weekend began with very calm and stable weather, marked by the presence of high cloud intervals that made things difficult in many regions. During Saturday afternoon, some light, unimportant showers also reappeared, a situation that will repeat on a fully anticyclonic Sunday with many more sunny spells. Maximum temperatures will remain between 23 and 30 ºC in general, or a little higher in parts of Ponent and the interior of the Ebre. For the moment, however, there is no significant heatwave in sight and it seems that the heat of late May will not visit us again, at least, until the second fortnight of June.

Sunday: very calm

The weather will be very calm on Sunday, with sunshine in general and only a few thin or low clouds in the morning. Afternoon clouds in the Pyrenees will be more harmless, and might only leave some isolated and minor showers in this area. Minimum temperatures will rise, and maximum temperatures will be similar or slightly higher. Moderate coolness in the early hours and warm weather without extremes in the middle of the day, with many values between 26 and 31 ºC. And on the coast, mugginess.

Monday: sun's prominence

The sun will be the protagonist at the beginning of the week, with a clear sky throughout the country that will allow the temperature to rise with more force. In fact, it will already reach 33 or 34 °C in Ponent and the Ebro basin, still far from late May values, but with heat more typical of summer. Tropical minimums will also return in some coastal areas, especially in Barcelona due to the heat island effect. During the afternoon, some showers could occur again in the Pyrenees, with irregular distribution and leaving small amounts of precipitation.
